Subject: Re: Lord of the Rings Boxed Sets by Deagol on 2006/6/14 14:20:43 I remember from somewhere in the History of Middle-earth series that Tolkien had a grand plan for the Silmarillion that, if he had completed it, would have amounted to more than one volume, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had shown this to Clyde Kilby. There is an article by Charles Noad in Tolkien's Legendarium (ISBN 0313305307) that tries to reconstruct Tolkien's intentions for The Silmarillion using details given on title pages of the various manuscripts described in The History of Middle-earth series . This is what he came up with: Quenta Silmarillion Concerning the Powers Ainulindale Valaquenta The Great Tales The Lay of Leithian Narn i Chin Hurin The Fall of Gondolin Earendil the Wanderer The Later Tales Akallabeth Of the Rings of Power Appendices The Tale of Years Of the Laws and Customs among the Eldar Dangweth Pengolod Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth Quendi and Eldar |
